2010.12.14 Hearing - Telephonic *Updated* Order p.5

[Sun]

That's what I thought I heard.

Originally - 300 hours
Next hearing - 60 more hours
Recent hearing - whatever overage had already been incurred, plus 110 hours to "investigate" the "new" 110 TES people

I posted the Order upthread. The addition 110 hours were to be used for people listed on the State's witness list. Not a fishing expedition.

I stand corrected.

I have a feeling that JBP will put putting an even tighter leash on the investigative hours he has to dole out, let me see what the PI is doing before I give you more, and as far as him doing paralegal and secretarial work that may be exactly where that money is going, I don't see JB making it to trial without getting in trouble with JAC nailing him to the wall with his creative spending.

And speaking of creative accounting, it sounds to me like two things happened concurrently - first that Baez and his PI were way ahead of number of hours billed and were just putting in the amounts equal to each approval stage, (leaving leftovers yet to be billed) and second, maybe all the PI's he used during the TES phone calls were paid as one um er "blended" PI's hours.

Gotta love the wording. Baez says each of his experts are to "...rebut any false claims....." by the State's witnesses.

Who says their claims are false?? To me, that is simply his very biased opinion.

I wonder if this is "normal" verbiage, or just another way for him to be snarky and juvenile?

If they are there to rebut only "false claims" it could be a very quiet day in court.:innocent:

JAC said in the new filing that investigator Jeremy Lyons has billed for 471 hours of work. He has only been budgeted 470 so far.

The JAC said the investigator is spending time on tasks that could be performed by a paralegal or secretary.


I'm curious as to why they would use a PI for work performed by a Paralegal work? Something not sounding right to me. moo

Because Baez thinks he's a mafia don and the PI's are his cronies to do his bidding? Funny, he seems to trust these PI's more than his own legal team. What is up with that?

I would love to see the 80 page response! I tweeted WESH asking them to please post it, but then I checked the docket and I did not see that anyone purchased the 80 pages in the financial transactions.
